    Here are the approaches for exterior wood siding designs.

    Bevel
    To make a bevel, a wood material of certain thickness is re-sawed at an angle which then produces two materials with each having a thicker one edge than the other. It is then installed horizontally. The resulting inclination then produces a face that is slightly slanting upwards and an attractive shadow cast under every siding.

    The Western Red Cedar is widely used as a bevel design material because of its predisposition to produce knots which can be very beautiful. In fact wood with higher knot grades are often preferred on country homes, exuding casual warmth typical in every countryside homestead.

    A board & batten is a vertical design made of two wood siding boards with different dimensions. While there are no standard dimensions for board & batten, you can start with frequently used combination of 1" x 3" battens and 1" x 10" boards. Different dimensions have also drastically different looks, and scale differences have also significantly different the wood dimensions.

    Doing a board & batten, the boards are used to cover the raw wall face. Normally, boards are attached upright and the battens are used to cover the joints. The battens have significant use over the design, they cover the edges that without, can leak in water of moisture and destroy the siding.
